Archiv für slavische Philologie

Archiv für slavische Philologie is the oldest Slavic philological journal, generally considered as the best in the field at the time it was published.

It was founded in 1875 by Vatroslav Jagić and published by Weidmannsche Buchhandlung in Berlin, and thanks to the historian Theodor Mommsen the journal received financial support from the Prussian Ministry of Education.

After Jagić's death in 1923 it was issued irregularly by Erich Berneker, but after 42 volumes it was finally shut down in 1929.

[1] Jagić published papers about phonological, grammatical and syntactical structure of all Slavic languages, descriptions of ancient Slavic literary monuments, oral literary tradition, culture, mythology, bibliographies and other texts.

Jagić himself was a prolific contributor, writing extensive studies and contributions in sections Anzeigen and Kleine Mitteilungen.
